Leonardo, as you will learn if you stick around here long enough, TNP is
not a programmer (nor the electrical engineer he claims to be). He is
merely a hacker who thinks he knows everything - but knows very little
about good programming practices. He makes all kinds of claims as to
what he's done in the past, but his comments in this newsgroup have
repeatedly shown the opposite.
It's why he uses a pseudonym instead of his real name - he doesn't want
anyone to find out who he really is.
